The Lady’s Facade was Ruined - Chapter 10

Chapter 10: Don’t You Peek at Shen Wanying During Class?

The students outside the classroom were driven away by the teacher who came. By that time, the bell for early self-study rang on time. Five minutes later, the students in class one grade two found a surprising fact.

Ji Yao didn’t sleep in the class!

Although he wasn’t reading, he just sat there, not sleeping as he usually did.

—— At this time, Zhao Yimeng asked Shen Wanying to follow her to the toilet with a sigh. “Ji Yao surely has been seriously triggered. It was a wonder he didn’t sleep in the class.”

Shen Wanying disagreed, “I won’t go (smack) … for merely a first-semester exam.”

Zhao Yimeng shook her forefinger left and right like an expert, “You don’t understand… The real king doesn’t allow any failure, not once.”

“Oh…”

“But I’m really pitiful.” Zhao Yimeng changed her face to looking pitiful and cried, “I wanted to help Huo Cheng in his study as a study committee member to get closer to him. Yet, as you can see, he studies better than me. 😊”

Shen Wanying suggested, “Then how about letting him be the study committee member and making him help you study?”

“Yes! My Lady is truly open-minded! But more importantly, is he willing to help me study?” Zhao Yimeng smiled.

“Uh…”

“Let’s forget about these sad things. I want to ask you, between Huo Cheng and Ji Yao, which one do you prefer to be the first in the exam?”

“Me?” Shen Wanying smiled gracefully, “Of course, I wish I could take the first place.”

“Hahaha, My Lady also has her own ambition. I thought you would be embarrassed.” Zhao Yimeng analyzed, “While you are in love with Ji Yao, currently you are having a good relationship with the new student Huo Cheng, creating quite a dilemma.”

Shen Wanying’s smile became stiff, “Excuse me, when did you hear me claiming to have a crush on Ji Yao?”

Zhao Yimeng patted her shoulder, “Don’t pretend. I often see you peeking at Ji Yao and many classmates know it.”

Shen Wanying: “…”

Zhao Yimeng: “Yet you have been very close to Huo Cheng recently. In the morning, you are talking and laughing with him. Even the students from other classes are talking about you two.”

Shen Wanying: “…”

“Aaaahhh, why are all the handsome guys yours?!” Zhao Yimeng suddenly was mad at Shen Wanying.

Shen Wanying silently stopped walking and said, “Suddenly, I don’t feel like going to the bathroom anymore. I will return to the classroom.”

Zhao Yimeng: “?”

Even if Zhao Yimeng’s words were exaggerating, Shen Wanying also noticed that Ji Yao didn’t sleep in class and just sat all morning. Such abnormal behavior naturally attracted more than Zhao Yimeng’s attention. At lunch, Shen Wanying heard many students talking about it.

She also had some ideas, but she wouldn’t talk behind the back like everyone else. So, she just went back to her dormitory after lunch.

The first class in the afternoon was Mr. Song’s class. During the weekend, he asked everyone to correct the mistakes on the paper. This class was mainly used to review the test paper.

The weather was very good these days. It was the hottest time of the day. Although the sun in this month was lesser than that in July and August, it was still dazzling as ever.

Shen Wanying’s seat was in the range of sunlight. Huo Cheng saw that all the students before and after Shen Wanying were holding a book to block the sun. Yet Shen Wanying was sitting still in her seat. She was attentively bending her head and taking notes. It was as if the annoying sunshine ceased to exist.

Even at this time, Lady Shen should remain elegant and dignified.

She tried to control her posture, but she couldn’t control the thin sweat on her nose.

Huo Cheng stood up, and his shadow blocked the sunlight touching Shen Wanying. Mr. Song, who was teaching, saw him suddenly stand up and was startled. He thought there was something wrong. So, he asked, “Huo Cheng, what’s wrong?”

Huo Cheng: “I’m somewhat sleepy, so I stood up to avoid falling asleep.”

“Oh——” Mr. Song breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn’t because he had said something wrong, “Then stand a little further and don’t block the student behind.”

“En.” Huo Cheng walked towards the window.

“Then we will continue what we were talking about now.” Mr. Song took the test paper and continued to write on the blackboard.

After the class ended, Huo Cheng sat back in his seat.

The sun wasn’t as strong as before. Huo Cheng took the glass on the table and had a sip of water. He didn’t know at all that the sentence he said in class “Standing for a while because he was afraid of falling asleep” had been exaggerated as a connotation towards Ji Yao by the students who liked to gossip.

—— ‘Who likes to sleep through the class except for Ji Yao! Blatantly choking the opponent, right after snatching the first place. The competition among top students is unexpectedly fierce!’

These gossips finally reached Ji Yao’s ears. In the afternoon when the school was over, Ji Yao packed his bag and walked out of the classroom with Huo Cheng.

Huo Cheng didn’t see Ji Yao. Ji Yao called him, “Don’t think you can get the first place again after this. I didn’t study for the first test, but you’ll know after the next exam.”

Huo Cheng didn’t care and said: “Wait and see.”

Ji Yao hummed, “What’s up with me sleeping in the class? Think that I didn’t listen to the lecture?”

Huo Cheng glanced at him and Ji Yao gave him his lazy smile. With a low voice, Ji Yao said, “Weren’t you peeking at Shen Wanying during the class?”

Huo Cheng’s eyes darkened. Ji Yao put a brilliant smile on his face then went away without a word.

The two of them had a “friendly exchange” in the corridor, which was witnessed by many students, and some people took pictures of them in the same frame. The first private school of City A had a news club, which updated the school’s news online every day. This ‘friendly exchange” of course didn’t go unnoticed from the news club’s members.

Today’s front-page headline was the photo of the two first-place students in grade two of the first private school in City A.

The original intention of the school reporters was to record the fierce competition between the two first place, so everyone would learn their spirit and work harder to raise their ranks. However, after the manuscript was published, it was not the competition that became the main headline, but the CP1 of the two parties.

Little reporter: “?”

What happened to all the girls now? Anything can become a CP now? No, wait a minute. How could this have happened? Why are the boys getting involved??

The little reporter was very angry. No one read the manuscript he thoughtfully wrote. On the other hand, the photo of both Huo Cheng and Ji Yao, which he took casually, was highly praised on the forum. Some even printed out the screenshots of the photos, saying they should stick them in front of the desks to motivate themselves.

Little reporter: “??”

This strange sense of motivation had increased again!

What was more outrageous was that they had a traitor in the news agency. They copied his original film and took it to the photo studio to wash them, then openly sold it among their classmates to make a lot of money!

When he hadn’t had his bonus yet!
